A satirical poem about the rivalry of various fruits becomes a point of departure for investigations of tolerance and identity in a pluralistic world.

The Contest of the Fruits takes a nineteenth-century Uyghur satirical poem as a departure point for investigations of language, politics, religion, humor, resilience, and resistance in a pluralistic world. Composed at the crossroads of multiple civilizations and empires and born of the Uyghurs' liminal position at the edges of Islam and the frontiers of China, "The Contest of the Fruits" captures a world in which borders are gateways rather than dividing lines. The poem, highly performative, embellished with verbal flourishes, and featuring the ribald rivalry of such fruits as mulberry, pomegranate, quince, and pear, may be the first Turkic rap battle.

The book, which accompanies a project by the art collective Slavs and Tatars, brings together artists, academics, poets, and performers to create a visually compelling volume that deploys different registers (high and low) to examine subjects often considered mutually exclusive (for example, religion and hip-hop). It offers essays by leading scholars and journalists that cover topics ranging from language politics to the prominence of Uyghur rappers in China. Shorter "pop-out" texts take a more tentacular approach to Uyghur culture, sampling poetry by diaspora Uyghur poets and discussing such subjects as calligraphy, Uyghur pop music, mäshräp, and the Sufi practice of Samāc.

Great cold gear
Size: Large, Color: White (100)/Black
Warm, very comfortable. I wear these all winter. The neck can be a little tight and the cut is definitely fitting. Its got thin like fleece on the inside that keeps you warm.

Tight but stays in place, comfy and keeps you warm
Size: Medium, Color: Charcoal Light Heather (019)/Black
I liked this shirt because it keeps me warm when I'm outside even at negative temperatures, I can work out comfortably in it and the sweat dries out soon; also, the interior of the shirt is made of a very comfortable material. I don't like that this is very tight, cool if you want to use it under your usual sports clothes but if you want to use it as is I would suggest going up a size. I use this shirt almost every day to work out during winter time, I've washed them several times and they still feel as comfortable as the first day.

Perfect for running!
Size: Small, Color: Black (001)/White
None of my running clothes make me feel as sexy as this underarmor does. It is so soft on the inside, which is an upgrade from their old version because I found one at the thrift store that is really scratchy. It has been through a cold wash and the dryer multiple times at this point and it is still holding up. The size is true. The material thickness is perfect for me between 45-35° F. And again with layers between 15-10° F. But I look forward more to my runs that I get to wear my underarmor. Nothing makes me feel more confident on the trail. And I love love love the turtleneck. I got all black because that is my favorite color to wear when I run and it looks perfect. It is a true black.
